Since publishing my new book, Culture Hacker , a couple of months ago, I have had some great conversations and brainstorming sessions with Human Resource leaders and Executives across organizations about how to hack their culture and improve their overall employee experience. One outcome has been the development of my ‘Four C’s’ that I believe highlight the required direction of Human Resource leaders and their departments in the future.

I should probably add “hiring manager” to the title of this post. The individuals responsible for finding and hiring the organization’s talent need skills. It’s not fair to simply say, “Hey! Go hire some high performers and rock stars. Oh, and do it quickly. And, cheaply.” I’m not writing this post to say that a recruiter or hiring manager needs to have these skills before they can get involved in the recruiting process.

Several policies were rolled out by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in 2015 that redefined the definition of a “joint employer,” disrupting the way franchise businesses independently hire, set wages, manage their staff and run day-to-day operations. The change in policy has meant that rather than franchisees having full control over these aspects of the business, the joint employer ruling put liability on franchisors for workplace conditions and violation s.
